About Robert
Robert Abercrombie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing career stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He works with adults dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and intimacy-related issues. Robert focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel a little more in control.
He keeps sessions straightforward and goal oriented. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address thoughts, emotions, and coping skills.
How Robert works
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide shorter-term goal planning and momentum building. Robert sees therapy as a partnership. He listens first to understand what is keeping someone stuck, then suggests clear strategies to try between sessions.
Some days the work is problem solving, other days it is learning ways to tolerate strong feelings. In Wisconsin he brings three years of clinical practice to his work as an LPC. He emphasizes plain language over clinical jargon and focuses on habits, routines, and choices that affect daily life.
That includes communication skills, workplace stress steps, and ways to handle life transitions. People often arrive wanting relief from panic, persistent sadness, or relationship conflict. Robert helps them set small, achievable goals and measures progress together.
He supports clients who want both short-term solutions and a plan for longer change.

How Robert Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Robert often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression and then practice different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for career stress, social anxiety, and mood concerns. He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Robert collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. He may try solution-focused planning for a few sessions to build momentum, then add CBT or DBT skills as needed based on how the client responds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or practice between sessions. These options make it easier to continue steady work while juggling work, school, or family demands.
